Why it stands out

The 2023 Kia Seltos stands out as a subcompact crossover that was designed to bridge the gap between Kia’s smaller, quirkier offerings and its more grown-up SUVs. It has a larger footprint than the Hyundai Kona and a more rugged personality, while Kia described its character as “rugged refinement” to signal a tough-looking exterior paired with a surprisingly premium interior for the price. It also has a reputation for punching above its weight, with a high-quality cabin, refined driving dynamics, and generous passenger and cargo space for its compact size.

For 2023, the Seltos benefits from the strengths of the first generation before the later refresh arrived. The base model came with front-wheel drive, while all other trims had all-wheel drive. The standard powertrain was a 2.0-litre four-cylinder with 146 horsepower and Kia’s Intelligent Variable Transmission, and it was praised for smoothness and impressive fuel economy as low as 7.7 litres per 100 kilometres combined in front-wheel-drive form and 8.2 L/100 km with all-wheel drive. Buyers wanting more performance could choose the turbocharged 1.6-litre engine, which produced 175 hp and 195 pound-feet of torque and was paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

Inside, the 2023 Kia Seltos was especially appealing because it felt more spacious and better thought out than many rivals. It offered reclining rear seats, an adjustable load board, and a flat cargo floor with the rear seats folded down. Standard equipment included an 8-inch touchscreen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, while higher trims added a larger 10.25-inch display, a wireless phone charger, and a rear USB charging port. The main drawbacks were also clear: the cabin could be noisy, the dual-clutch transmission was clunky, and the base engine felt underpowered.
